Easter Brunch

This year, after church, we are hosting a small Easter brunch at our house. I love the casualness of brunch, it’s easy and relaxing. Having the brunch at home gives the kiddos free reign and lets the adults kick back and enjoy the morning without worrying about keeping kids in check at a restaurant.

I love a simple, light table setting with a few containers of flowers in the same hue. Too bad our view to the backyard isn’t as stunning!

But, what I really love about brunch is the food! I’ve always been a breakfast-for-dinner kind of gal, known to enjoy pancakes (with peanut butter and syrup!) or eggs in the evening. My cooking skills aren’t all that great, but my French toast, coffee cake, and blueberry muffins are actually pretty good. Fresh fruit is simple enough to assemble and with some coffee, oj, and perhaps a little champagne, you’ve got yourself a little brunch party!

I love the idea of an Easter Brunch. We host a huge Easter dinner at our house each year. My mom started this dinner in 1986 and my husband and I took it over in 2005. So it is a tradition. We don't do an Easter egg hunt but I've been thinking of adding it.

Beautiful photos!!! I think this year we're going to go out to a nice lunch after church and then home for an egg hunt. T's parents tend to hog the holidays, but they aren't in town this year (isn't that awful of me??!). I'm looking forward to doing things differently this year. ;)

I loved this post, Megan! All the photos and ideas you compiled put a bit ol' smile on my face.

Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. This year, Mr. M won't be home, unfortunately, but one of my best girlfriends from college will be flying in to visit Sunday afternoon. I think we'll try one of the egg creations you've featured!

Sounds like a really fun Easter! We're actually hosting out first Easter as a married couple here at our house! Am I crazy? Probably... but I think it's going to be so fun and I'm really looking forward to it. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Easter together! =]

What lovely pictures. I feel like I could eat ALL of that b/c I do love me a good brunch! :) We are heading back east to spend the holiday with my family and will have a good 'ol fashion easter egg hunt for the boys!

I recognize those pics! ;) We'll be in Paris for Easter, dahling!! We sat at the Easter table I set the other night...and I'm making the kids Easter baskets. Not sure if I'll give to them before we leave, or hide for treats on Sunday. I have Friday off so we'll prob do something fun then. Oh, and I totally eat PB on my pancakes!! Wow, is this comment going on long enough? No? I can ramble more! I have a recipe for a coffee cake that is SICK...we make it Christmas morning. It's really just yellow cake with more sugar! yum. Okay, i'm done now.
